You never turn left from the right lane on right from the left lane in a normal 4 lane intersection. If you are going straight Through the intersection you use either lane. The Traffic circles are the same, follow the rules you use in a normal intersection and you will not have any issues.
I don't agree about not turning right from the left lane. You will see that in this diagram and that is what we were told by the sheriff's dept. And that is what the Villages brochure says. Why have the left lane? We were told that if you are going to travel more that one exit, you should be in the left lane. https://www.districtgov.org/communit...t-02-08-12.pdf
